| 2007 | STEERING | I WAS ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WENT OUT. I TRIED TO PULL OFF THE RODE BUT RAN INTO A DITCH AND DAMAGED ONE OF MY TIRES. I COULD NOT TURN THE WHEEL IT WAS VERY HARD TO STEER, I MADE IT TO A EXIT AND FOUND A LOCAL AUTO ZONE. I WAS INFORMED IT WAS ELECTRIC AND THE PART HAD TO BE PURCHASED FROM THE DEALER. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED OVER A HUNDRED MILES WHICH WAS VERY EXPENSIVE. THE DEALERSHIP ESTIMATED CHARGES TOTALING $700.00. THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. I'M A SINGLE PARENT AND CURRENTLY I AM NOT ABLE TO AFFORD THE REPAIRS SO MY VEHICLE IS PARKED UNTIL I CAN SAVE UP THE MONEY. I THINK ITS A WASTE I'M PAYING A NOTE FOR VEHICLE I'M NOT ABLE TO DRIVE.
